We are building a platform combining glow-in-the-dark nanochemistry, easy-to-use connected hardware, and mobile apps to provide rapid at-home and point-of-care testing and immediate treatment across a range of chronic and acute diseases. Users can collect diagnostics and start follow-up care in minutes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Fremont, California, and the company is currently based there. After YC, we'd likely continue operating from the Bay Area.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Fremont puts us close to supply chain and hardware resources and the broader Bay Area health tech ecosystem, which helps us move quickly on device R&D and user feedback.
